3 November 2009

The Halloween party was a huge success. One party guest commented to Beth Rosenlof that "this party rocks!"

The winner of the Chili Cook-off is Rachael Thomas, a late entry and first time chili maker walked away with the $300 First Prize! The night was even more eventful for the Thomas' because little Allison took the blue ribbon for the "Most Beautiful" costume. Everyone was really happy for the Thomas Family.

The second place ribbon and $70 gift card to Chili's was won by Cami and Alex Espinosa. Tiffany Rigby (who is an absolutely wonderful cook) took home the third place ribbon and a $30 gift card to Chili's.

We can't be thankful enough to our esteemed judges, Susan Zubiate, Paul Jackson, and Paul's work colleague, also named Paul, who really had their work cut out for them. They took their job very seriously and we appreciate them, although they will most likely never want to eat another bite of chili as long as they live.

The three other costume winners were a very scary Sharon Fuhriman, a beautiful little baby orange butterfly, and a very hilarious little baby Gomez Addams, (from the Addam's Family.)
The games were all a big hit, but I think the Spook Alley was the most popular. Lizzie Wheeler said that even she was scared some of the time and she was just working the door!

The night was topped off with the Trunk or Treat. The most creative, I thought, was Paul and Kristyn Jackson's front door, complete with welcome mat, porch light and doorbell. Don Pack may be going to jail soon because he had a dead cowboy in the back of his car, and Brent Larsen is surely in trouble with his neighbors because he apparantly killed and buried the last dog that pooped in his yard.

All in all I think everyone had a great time.
